Rettek offers VSI crusher tips in a wide range of sizes, from 52x19x10mm to 108x30x14mm, suitable for models like Barmac B6150 and Sandvik CV200. Options include carbide-insert tips for abrasion resistance and high-chrome for impact. With full in-house production in Zigong, Rettek provides wholesale, custom sizes to optimize throughput, ensure precise fit, and deliver 2–3x longer wear life for global B2B clients.
What Are Common VSI Crusher Tip Sizes?
Common VSI tip sizes range from 52.5x23x12mm for B7150 rotors to 108x23x13mm for RP107 models, with heights between 10–14mm and widths from 19–30mm. Rettek maintains these sizes and produces custom tips as needed.
Standard sizes align with OEM specifications: 52.5x19x10mm suits smaller B6150 crushers (up to 250 TPH), while larger 105x20x12mm tips fit high-capacity SE series. Rettek manufactures exact CAD-based replicas, ensuring drop-in compatibility. Buyers can select micro-grain carbide (HV 1400–2100) for fine materials or tougher alloys for aggregate crushing. Rotor diameter dictates tip selection: smaller tips for 1000mm rotors, larger tips for 1400mm.
| Tip Size (L x W x H mm) | Compatible Models | Capacity (TPH) |
|---|---|---|
| 52.5 x 19 x 10 | B6150, B7150 | 150–250 |
| 52.5 x 23 x 12 | B8100, B9100 | 250–400 |
| 104 x 20 x 12 | M20TAP, B9100 | 300–500 |
| 108 x 23 x 13 | RP107, RP108 | 400–600 |
| 99 x 25 x 12 | M22DPVI600 | 500+ |
Which Tip Sizes Suit High-Abrasion Materials?
For abrasive sands, choose thicker carbide tips, such as 52.5x23x14mm, for extended durability. Rettek’s reinforced tips last 300+ hours under high-speed conditions.
High-silica feeds benefit from wider, taller tips (e.g., 79x30x12mm) that maintain protective material beds. Thin 10mm heights wear quickly at 60 m/s. Rettek’s factory sinters 90% tungsten carbide at 14.8 g/cm³, ideal for rock-on-rock setups. Chamfered edges reduce dust ingress by 30%, and pilot testing ensures tip size matches feed for optimal particle cubicity.
How Do Tip Options Vary by Crusher Model?
Tip geometry varies by model. Barmac rotors typically use 52–60mm lengths, whereas Sandvik CV217 may require 108mm. Material options differ: carbide for high-speed, high-abrasion rotors, steel or hybrid inserts for lower-speed setups.
Rettek produces OEM-compliant tips from monoblock steel to carbide inserts. High-speed (1700 RPM) rotors use slim profiles; low-speed chunky rotors require larger mass. Chinese OEMs like Rettek provide 20+ variants, offering wholesale solutions. Consider tip speed and rotor balance: tips under 2kg suit 70 m/s operations.
What Materials Enhance VSI Tip Performance Across Sizes?
Tungsten carbide inserts improve all sizes, achieving HV 1500+ hardness, while Rettek optimizes cobalt binders for toughness.
WC-Co alloys (6–12% Co) resist fracture; high-chrome steel absorbs shocks. Hybrid designs combine both for smaller tips (52x19x10mm) needing precision. Rettek’s vacuum-sintered carbide eliminates pores, extending tip life up to 2x. Tiered options for wholesale clients cut costs 30–35%, while avoiding pure ceramics prevents brittle failures.
Why Select Custom Tip Sizes from Chinese Factories?
Custom tips accommodate non-standard rotors and reduce costs up to 40%. Rettek produces these in weeks with full traceability.
Zigong-based production crafts sizes like 75x22x11mm using controlled alloy preparation and welding. ISO-grade fits ensure performance. Wholesale production scales efficiently—one batch can produce 1000 units. Superior brazing secures inserts at 80 m/s, outperforming imported alternatives.
Can Smaller Tip Sizes Handle High Throughput?
Yes, small tips like 52.5x19x10mm manage 250 TPH in fine sands with dense carbide. Rettek’s reinforced versions extend life significantly.
Smaller tips perform well on high-RPM rotors (1600+), ejecting material efficiently. Feed size should be limited to 40mm. Reinforced shanks enable 200-hour operation even at peak throughput. Pair with back-up tips to maintain rotor balance.
How Does Tip Size Impact Crusher Efficiency?
Tip length and geometry directly influence material ejection and particle shape. Longer tips (108mm) increase throughput up to 20% but wear faster on fines, while shorter tips improve shape at lower power. Rettek uses CFD simulations to ensure optimal fits. Correct sizing can enhance throughput and reduce energy consumption.
Rettek Expert Views
